Listening to Nico's 1967 album ' Chelsea Girl' and the track 'These Days', I was struck by the lyric " I've been out walking..." and later " I've stopped my rambling.." -which seemed to suggest everybody's favourite Teutonic Misery guts and Heroin addict, had actually been a bit of a hiker on the quiet. I can see her now heading out with her 1 : 50 000 scale Ordnance Survey Landranger map, for a romp round Snowdonia with John Cale.
Do they do Kagouls in black?
She did die falling off her bicycle, so perhaps I should revise my opinion.

What? No Johhny Cash - I Walk The Line?
Talking of 60s 'stars', Lindy had lunch with Anita Pallenberg today (on a fillum set). She says she's like a 'wizened old hag', but very pleasant.
Good choice 'I Walk the Line'-
My god ! whats the film ?
Jurassic Park IV ? Hope that she's enjoying herself.
How are your paintings coming along?
It's a Stephen Frears film of the Colette book 'Cheri'. Michele Pfieffer's in it, and Kathy Bates.
I'm painting some still lifes now for a change.
